A few days later…
Goodbyes had already happened.
The airport, once filled with laughter and teasing, had now returned to silence.
Hikaru and Aika had left.
And just like that—
Miyako was alone again.
---
🌊 A Walk to Distract the Heart
"Let's go somewhere," Miyako suddenly said.
Her friend looked at her.
"Where?"
Miyako shrugged lightly.
"Anywhere… maybe near the lake."
Her friend smiled.
Friend — Rina ✨
Cheerful and talkative.
"Alright, let's go."
---
The lake was lively.
Water sparkled under sunlight.
People laughed.
Some were rafting—shouting, splashing, enjoying.
Miyako walked quietly, hands in her pockets.
Trying to ignore the small emptiness left behind.
---
🌊 The Incident
Suddenly—
A loud scream.
"HELP!!"
Both Miyako and Rina turned instantly.
One man had fallen into the water.
He struggled, panicking.
People on the boat shouted, trying to reach him.
And then—
Another man fell.
A tall figure slipped into the water accidentally.
Unlike the first man—
this one didn't panic.
He quickly tried to balance himself, looking around for support.
A rock.
He moved toward it.
And in that moment—
he reached the struggling man.
Holding him.
Stabilizing both of them.
Within seconds, the staff arrived and pulled them out safely.
---
👏 The "Hero"
People gathered quickly.
Voices filled the air—
"He saved him!"
"So brave!"
"A real hero!"
The man stood there—
completely wet, slightly breathless.
Running a hand through his hair.
A little embarrassed.
A little proud.
Beside him, his rafting partner leaned in and whispered—
"Looks like you impressed someone… good bro, good 😁👏🏻"
---
😏 The Smile
Not far away—
Miyako stood watching.
And then—
She smiled.
A strange smile.
Rina noticed.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
Miyako didn't answer.
She walked forward.
Crossed them.
Then suddenly—
stopped.
Took a few steps back.
And turned.
---
🐸 The Confrontation
She looked straight at the man.
"So, Mr. Hero…" 🙄
"Are you really an intentional hero?"
The man blinked.
"W-What? What do you mean?"
His partner looked confused.
"What's happening? Do you know her?"
Before he could answer—
The man quickly said,
"No. I don't even know her. Who are you? Why are you meddling so much?"
Miyako raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?"
Then crossed her arms.
"But I do."
The partner jumped in—
"Didn't you just smile at us?"
Miyako let out a soft laugh.
Then said calmly—
✨
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
✨
Rina burst out laughing.
The partner frowned.
"Who is blind?"
Miyako pointed at him.
"You."
Then the man asked—
"…and the one-eyed man?"
She pointed at him.
"You."
---
😂 The Frog
She tilted her head slightly.
A playful smirk appearing.
"Look who's here trying to be a hero…"
A pause.
Then—
"A frog." 😁😂🤣
Everyone laughed—
except him.
---
💥 Truth Revealed
He frowned.
"Who even are you? Why are you saying all this?"
Miyako stepped closer.
"A proof."
Both said together—
"Of what?"
She replied confidently—
"That you are not a hero at all."
Silence.
Then—
"I saw everything."
"You didn't jump."
"You fell."
She continued—
"And while trying to save yourself, you coincidentally reached him… and he got saved too." 🙄
Then she looked straight at him—
"So Mr. Hero…"
"Am I right… or AM I RIGHT?"
The partner slowly turned to him.
"…Is that true?"
The man stuttered—
"W-Well… even if it's true, I still saved him!"
Miyako nodded quickly.
"Yes yes, you did."
Then smirked—
"That's why I said—you are not an intentional hero."
"Just a saviour." 😂
And just like that—
She turned.
And walked away.
As if nothing happened.
---
😂 Aftermath
The partner burst out laughing.
"HAHAHA—BROOO—"
The man glared.
"Stop laughing like a monkey."
The partner grinned.
"Yes, Mr. Frog Hero."
"SHUT UP!!"
He sighed in frustration.
"Looks like zookeepers are not doing their job properly…" 😒
"Letting a tigress roam around like that."
The partner laughed even more.
He muttered—
"What a bad day… first I fell, got wet… and now THIS."
---
🌸 Meanwhile
Rina nudged Miyako.
"Why did you say that? He was actually really handsome… especially when he was wet." 😏
Miyako smirked.
"He was wet."
A pause.
Then—
"That's why I called him a frog." 😂
Both burst out laughing.
And walked away.
---
✨ Ending Line
Two strangers met.
Not with destiny.
Not with romance.
But with—
A misunderstanding,
A smirk,
And one unforgettable name—
"Frog." 🐸
